Here's my newest pet. I've wanted a Tubastrea or Dendro for a while now and finally had a couple come in at my LFS. This is right after being added and having half of it immediately open for a feeding. It's in two stalks like a branching coral, which I didn't know was one of their growing formations. I've only seen them as bunched colonies.

My question is about feeding. Has anyone ever had success having them feed on black worms predominately, with mysis and other random meaty food supplementation? I feed all my Acans and Chalices the black worms and they all love them and have shown increase growth when consistently (2-4 times a week) receiving them, and slowed growth when not. The half that was open after addition, quickly took down the worms, I'm just curious if the worms could provide enough nutrients if they were the only food, or at least the main food?
